As of march
2017, there are
currently 13 operational hydrogen refueling stations in the UK, while some are
reserved for University or research purposes 49.

Two types of FCVs is available for
purchase in UK (Hyundai ix35 FCV and
Toyota Mirai). Toyota UK said that 28 Mirai vehicles have been registered in the country as
of March 2017 since its launch in 2016 49. Table 20 shows BEV
and PHEV stock in the UK from 2012 to 2016.

UK’s EV
cumulative sales target by 2020 is 0.5 million vehicles 22.
UK has no target for the number of FCVs sold 50.

1.1
Norway

Norway alongside Denmark are the two countries in the
world with the highest new car purchase taxes 9. Generally, incentives in Norway for supporting
the deployment of EVs is stronger than incentives in countries such as France,
Japan and the USA 9 which led to Norway having
the highest electric car penetration among all countries 19.

FCV purchases in Norway are exempt of
purchase tax (which can be as high as 100 % for petrol cars) and also Zero
value added tax (25 %) 51. FCV owners can also enjoy low annual
road-tax (10 % of normal), free public parking, access to bus / taxi-lanes and
free passing through toll-roads 51. The same incentives are also
available for BEVs 19. However, the Government and
regional politicians have started to reduce the benefits for BEVs, and warned
that these supports will be gradually phased out 51.

Development of HRSs in Norway has benefited from government support. The HyNor
project in Norway was a joint industry initiative to demonstrate the real-life
implementation of a hydrogen energy infrastructure across Norway 52. This project
was a public-private partnership 53. Norway
also provides public funding for deployment of fast-charging stations every 50
km (on average) on main roads and at the same time contributes to deployment
incentives for public chargers 19.

As of October
2017, there are 6 HRSs in Norway 54. Table 21 shows the number of accessible slow and fast chargers in Norway.

Uno-X Hydrogen
has the target to build 20 hydrogen refueling stations in Norway by 2020
through H2-20 project 55.
In Norway, there is also regional targets for the number of FCVs and HRSs.
Oslo-Akershus region targets to have at least 350 FCVs by the end of 2018. By
2025 the region is also targeting to have a sufficiently established HRS
network which forms a basis for a national and Nordic infrastructure for FCVs.
The target for number of FCVs will be over 10,000 56.
Norway’s target for number of electric vehicles is 50,000 by 2018 22.
